One-sentence Summary: Cherishing each other, peace all years round.
Brief Review: During the spring plowing season, Tong Sui was married off in haste. She had never met her husband, who had served in the military for six years afar, and only heard that he exuded an aura of menace that even the most casual of hooligans would avoid provoking. On the eve of her wedding, a neighboring scholar had wanted to elope with her. Tong Sui did not agree because she knew that during such turbulent times, a scholar could not protect her. This novel offers a fresh perspective, depicting the growth journey of an ordinary couple during the twilight of a dynasty. Love, family affection, friendship, and survival amidst peril weave throughout the story, starting from the trivialities of daily life at home and gradually unfolding into a grand tapestry of clashing armies and heroic rivalries.
